   Kimble & YIHAT Morons Threaten Attrition
   Mon Oct 22 20:41:19 MDT 2001

   For those who haven't heard of "Kimble" (aka Kim Schmitz, kimble.org,
   kill.net, YIHAT founder, etc), he is in the limelight again. As usual,
   he is peddling his fraud and lies yet again, this time riding the
   coattails of "anti-terrorism" to make a fast buck and get free media
   attention.

   In short, this charlatan has created YIHAT (Young Intelligent Hackers
   Against Terror) to supposedly track down terrorists online. The goal
   is to find them, identify them, and h4x0r them so they can't use their
   electronic funds etc. First making news by offering a 10 million
   dollar bounty on Osama Bin Laden, Kimble has now moved on to claiming
   his band of vigilante hackers have broken into banks owned by Bin
   Laden.

   Today, one of the YIHAT monkey's contacted me and told me to "keep an
   eye on" a defacing group known as G-force Pakistan. His reasoning for
   this comment was the claim that Attrition hosted a G-Force Pakistan
   web site, which he referenced as
   http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2000/11/03/www.jen.co.il/.

   Apparently YIHAT and this monkey did not bother to read anything on
   Attrition or take a moment to understand what the Attrition Mirror was
   all about. Instead, they accused of us of harboring or assisting a
   "terrorist cell".
